musings on motherhood, community, wellness & calling

The Crunchy Inventory…

After last week’s post, I started thinking more about things that we have been doing in our home for a while that indicate a more sustainable lifestyle (as well as increase that list of things we want to do). I wanted to elaborate and get your ideas on things that you are doing and give me some more ideas!

Reducing our water usage. Shorter showers, turning the water off when we brush our teeth, hand washing dishes instead of using the dishwasher.

Turning out the lights. My mom would be so proud. She used to fuss at me so badly when I was younger for leaving lights on. Now I’m the same way about lights!

And a few MORE things on the horizon:

Use a clothes line and reduce the use of the clothes dryer

Eat/Shop more locally when we move to Paris and walk/bike to the stores within a few blocks of our house (we will be keeping Save-A-Lot, the Dollar General and the farmers market in Paris in business!)

In my thinking, I thought about this quiz I saw over at my friend Amanda’s site. I adapted it for us who aren’t quite yet Crunchy Mama’s, but are still Crunchy Gals. If you want to take the crunchy Mama quiz, feel free to visit her quiz .

I only scored a 12 😦 I gave myself 2 points on 21 because we raise our own beef and pork. I’ve been thinking about getting a clothes line for our backyard. My mom always had one and I love the way clothes smell on the line.
